Bank Reconciliation

A valuable service that we offer is to reconcile your business checking account each month, which allows us to keep your bank account, accounting, and taxes, all up-to-date.

Our bank reconciliation service allows you to…

Identify lost checks, lost deposits, and unauthorized wire transactions

Know how your business is doing. You can’t really know unless all accounts are reconciled and properly accounted for on your financial statement.

Manage your cash more effectively. Proper management of funds not only saves money, it makes you more money.

Protect yourself. By timely reconciling and promptly objecting to your bank about any unauthorized, fraudulent, or forged checks presented to your bank and paid by that bank, you can relieve your agency of responsibility for the shortfall and transfer the risk to the bank.

Peace of mind. You will have greater peace of mind knowing that your bank accounts are reconciled, in balance, and that all escrow funds, accounts, checks, and disbursed funds are properly accounted for.

Income Statement

Also known as a profit and loss statement, this document adds an itemized list of all revenues and deducts and itemized list of all your expenses. The result is a consequent profit or loss for that period.

An income statement allows you to…

Track revenues and expenses so that you can determine the operating performance of your business

Determine what areas of your business are over-budget or under-budget

Identify specific items that are causing unexpected expenditures.

Track dramatic increases in product returns or cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales

Assist in determining your income tax liability

Balance Sheet

This tool provides a snapshot of your business’ financial condition at a specific moment in time.

A balance sheet helps you:

quickly get a handle on the financial strength and capabilities of your business

identify and analyze trends, particularly in the area of receivables and payables (for example: if your receivables cycle is lengthening, maybe you can collect your receivables more aggressively)

determine if your business is in a position to expand

determine if your business can easily handle the normal financial flows of revenues and expenses

determine if you need to take immediate steps to bolster cash reserves

determine if your business has been slowing down payables to forestall an inevitable cash shortage

Balance sheets, along with income statements, are the most basic elements in providing financial reporting to potential lenders such as banks, investors, and vendors who are considering how much credit to grant you.

Maintaining a Clean General Ledger

The general ledger is the core of your company’s financial records. These records constitute the central “books” of your system. Since every transaction flows through the general ledger, a problem with your general ledger throws off all of your books.

You don’t want to fix something after it’s broken; having us maintain your general ledger system each month allows us to identify any discrepancies such as double billings or any unrecorded payments while there is still time to rectify them. Staying ahead of the game assures your books are always accurate and in tip top shape.
